I love Leah Remini's heart. You can tell how much she cares about justice and that she isn't afraid to own up to her own mistakes. She's flawed and messy, but she's human, and the way she relays her experience in Scientology is heartfelt and inspiring.

I was expecting more of a tell-all Hollywood style, however the book's main focus is on Scientology. I did find it interesting, the church is out there after all, but the book lacked a little for me. Some stories I would have liked to read more about she instead brushed over to get to another incident with the Church.
